What can you do in Audit & Assurance?

The value of Audit & Assurance begins with underpinning the accuracy of a company’s financial information, which shareholders use to make vital decisions. You’ll travel to various client sites to get a detailed understanding of their business, identify key risks and design strategies to mitigate them. Each industry is faced with a different set of risks, so working on multiple engagements, your learning curve will be very steep. But auditing financial statements is just the start.

We’re transforming the way we work, to do more for our clients and our people. Using intelligent machines to automate and standardise processes, so you’re freer to think creatively and solve problems. Spending more time with clients, to offer deeper insights. Creating flexibility in career paths, and more agile working. Giving you real responsibility, earlier in your career. In an industry known for looking back, we’re looking beyond. Come lead the change.

Last year Deloitte was appointed auditor of a top global brewer. Part of the audit involves gaining an in depth knowledge of processes, including product manufacture and verifying stock. Which means we’re learning, and seeing first hand, how their beer makes it to bars and restaurants throughout the world.

“That there are so many different approaches to perform an audit.”

Jing Bi

What do our people say?

Jodie
FTSE

“The best thing is that every day is different and I get to meet so many new people, which makes it interesting.”

As a newbie, do you get much help or do you just get on with it?

I always feel supported with my work and I have never felt like there wasn’t anyone there helping me. Our managers know what it’s like to be new and unsure about the work, so they want to support you and help you learn as much as they can.

Everyone is always more than happy to answer my questions; in fact they encourage me to ask. I definitely feel like I can always ask anything, whenever I need to and however often I need to.

We have lots of catch ups throughout the day, to ensure I’m getting on okay with the work. These are usually via a Skype call or a quick chat. When work is assigned, the manager will sit down and explain what they need me to do in detail; this is a good time to ask even more questions!

Best and worst things about working in Audit & Assurance?

The most exciting job for me was when I worked with an aviation client in Cheltenham. They gave us a factory tour while we were there and it was really interesting to learn about the business.

This is something I would never have done if I didn’t work at Deloitte. You’ll love it here if you enjoy meeting new people, learning new things and have a business-curious mind.

Busy season is usually considered the worst part of audit. I didn’t actually know what that was! But I have endured my first busy season and you’ll be glad to know it wasn’t too bad.
